About the Book

As a Thyroid Patient Advocate, I have experienced many of the same struggles my fellow patients go through. In the chapters of this book I share some of the more helpful knowledge I gained as a newly diagnosed thyroid patient, beginning in year-2003, to the present. I also express a few opinions and take a look at some of the controversies that have continued between medical professionals and patient advocates in regard to symptoms, diagnosis and treatments for hypothyroidism. Along the way, you'll find that I added a few "rants and raves" in regard to these issues but hopefully nothing that might be perceived as disrespectful or offensive to either side of the debates. This book is not intended to be an extensive manual but is intended to contain information most often sought by laypersons on the subjects covered. CONTENTS (Approx. 8,738 words in length): CHAPTER ONE: Those Crazy Thyroid Antibodies: (When the Immune System Goes Haywire!) CHAPTER TWO: What it Feels like to be Hypothyroid: (Sunk in a Pit or Run Over by a Truck) CHAPTER THREE: Finding a Good Thyroid Doctor: (Physicians who Diagnose & Treat Hypothyroidism) CHAPTER FOUR: Thyroid Hormone Brand Controversies: (Which Hypothyroid Therapy is Best?) CHAPTER FIVE: The TSH Blood Test Debate: (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Controversies) CHAPTER SIX: Anxiety Symptoms with Autoimmune Hypothyroidism: (Anxious and Nervous Hypothyroid Patients) CHAPTER SEVEN: Unrealistic Expectations from Hypothyroid Therapy: (Imperfections of Thyroid Hormone Replacement) CHAPTER EIGHT: The Pituitary and Thyroid Gland Balancing Act: (Things that can Change Hormone Levels in the Body) CHAPTER NINE: Vitamin Deficiency Neuropathies in Thyroid Patients: (Peripheral Nerve Damage and Low Nutrients) CHAPTER TEN: Review for: "The Thyroid Diet" - by Mary Shomon: (Weight Loss Plans for Treated Hypothyroid Patients) CHAPTER ELEVEN: Thyroid Patient Self-Advocacy is Essential: (Being a Proactive Hypothyroid Patient) CHAPTER TWELVE: Respectful Thyroid Patient Advocacy: (Representing Fellow Hypothyroid Sufferers)
About the Author: I formerly served as editor and forum moderator of Thyroid Health for BellaOnline and as a general health for Suite101, where I achieved Editor's Choice Awards for articles on health subjects. In 2003 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; "Hashimoto's thyroiditis" being the cause. This autoimmune form of thyroid disease that causes destruction of the thyroid gland resulted in my also developing "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", due to a compromised immune system with severe co-morbid "Adrenal Fatigue". I also suffered severe anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks early into the onset of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashitoxicosis - temporary hyperthyroidism). My eventual receiving of diagnoses was a difficult process with proper diagnostic testing not being ordered by the first doctors I sought treatment from. These types of issues were inspiration for me to become proactive in my own health care and to self-educate myself on these health disorders, which I have done extensively since 2003. I now enjoy sharing this information with other patients experiencing my same health disorders.
